Best 8 Lacy Lemon Tuiles Recipes

GRANDMA'S LACE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl in a microwave. Add sugar and stir to combine. Add beaten egg and mix well. Stir in oats, flour, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder.
• Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, about 8 minutes. Let cool completely before removing cookies from foil.

CITRUS LACE TUILES WITH BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix together the sugar and flour until well combined. With the mixer on low speed, drizzle in the orange juice and the lemon juice and mix until smooth. Drizzle in the cooled melted butter slowly and add the zests. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the batter is completely smooth. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. For each tuile, drop a heaping teaspoon of batter onto a non-stick baking sheet with a non-stick liner, leaving three inches in between. Using a small, offset spatula or the back of a spoon dipped in cold milk to prevent sticking, gently pat each mound of batter into a very thin, even 4-inch round. Bake tuiles until they are golden brown all over, 9 to 11 minutes.
• Using a cannoli mold and working very quickly, roll each tuile around the mold. When the tuiles have cooled, carefully slide off the mold. Tuiles may be made smaller to form around mini tuile molds.
• Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill each tuile shell with buttercream. Garnish with fresh seasonal fruit.
• Place egg whites and sugar in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Set bowl in a pot of simmering water, whisking constantly, until hot to the touch. Place whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on highest setting until whites are cool and stiff. Add softened butter bit by bit until all the butter has been added. Add the vanilla and the softened goat cheese bit by bit until all has been added and the buttercream is stiff.

MEYER LEMON LACE TUILES

Steps:

• Mix sugar, flour, and salt with a mixer on low speed. Add lemon and orange juices, and beat until just combined. Slowly pour in butter, then increase speed to medium. Add lemon and orange zests, and continue to beat until combined. Cover, and refrigerate overnight (or up to 1 week).
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spoon batter, 1 teaspoon for each cookie, onto a baking sheet lined with a nonstick baking mat, spacing mounds at least 2 inches apart. (Refrigerate remaining batter between batches.) Using a small offset spatula, spread mounds into 3-inch circles. Bake cookies until uniformly light gold, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet for 1 minute. Working quickly, flip cookies over, smooth side up, and roll each around the handle of a wooden spoon. Let stand until hardened. (If cookies become too difficult to roll, return to oven until warm and flexible.) Repeat with remaining batter. Rolled cookies will keep, layered between parchment and covered, for up to 3 days.

LEMON PEEL TUILES

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick liner.
• Grind sugar and zest in a food processor, pulsing 4 or 5 times, until combined well, then transfer to a bowl. Add butter and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low, then add egg whites and mix until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add flour and mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
• Transfer batter to pastry bag and pipe 12 (3-inch-long) lines, about 1 inch apart, on baking sheet. (Be careful not to squeeze bag too hard - lines should only be 1/4 inch wide.)
• Bake tuiles until edges begin to brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Let tuiles stand on baking sheet 20 seconds (just long enough to allow them to firm up slightly), then transfer with offset spatula to rolling pin (stabilized on a cooling rack), draping them diagonally and wiping spatula clean before transferring next cookie. (If cookies become too crisp to drape, put them back in oven for a few seconds to soften.) Make more tuiles in same manner, using a cool baking sheet and wiping nonstick liner clean with paper towels between batches.

JOHN'S PECAN-LACE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat sugar, butter, corn syrup, and a pinch of salt over medium, stirring, until sugar has dissolved, about 7 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat; stir in orange zest, pecans, and flour. Transfer to a bowl; cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until dough is firm, about 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment. Drop dough by teaspoons, about 2 inches apart, onto sheets (6 per sheet); roll into balls.
• Bake until cookies are golden brown (they will harden as they cool), 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer cookies on parchment to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough. Let cookies cool completely.

CHOCOLATE LACE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter and milk. Cook and stir over medium heat 3-4 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir in pecans, flour and vanilla. Drop by 1/2 teaspoonfuls 3 in. apart onto foil-lined baking sheets. Bake 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and lacy. Cool completely before carefully removing from foil., In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Spread 1 teaspoon melted chocolate on bottoms of half the cookies; cover with remaining cookies. Refrigerate 10 minutes or until set. Store between pieces of waxed paper in an airtight container.

ALMOND TUILES

Steps:

• Put the cream and butter in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until the butter melts.
• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Put the almonds, sugar, flour and zest in a medium bowl and stir to mix thouroughly with a rubber spatula.
• add warm cream mixture and stir with spatula until batter is smooth.
• Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until THOROUGHLY chilled and thickened- preferably overnight.
• The batter can be made ahead and refrigerated, wrapped airtight, for 4 days.
• Baking the Tuiles: Preheat the over to 325 degrees and place your oven rack in the middle or lower third of the oven.
• You will need a rolling pin, wine bottle or some other cylindrical object to form the tuiles.
• They can also be formed over the bottom of a cup to make a container for mousse or berries etc.
• Stir the chilled batter to remix.
• Drop batter onto a parchment or silpat lined sheetpan, allowing 1 teaspoon of batter for each tuile.
• Leave 2 inches between each one.
• There is no need to spread out the batter- it will spread itself.
• You can make these larger if you want, but will have to adjust baking times accordingly.
• Bake the tuiles for 5-8 minutes until they spread and turn honey brown.
• DO NOT LEAVE THE KITCHEN- the tuiles will go from almost done to overdone in a very short time.
• Remove sheetpan and allow to cool for about 30 seconds.
• Forming the Tuiles: slide the tuiles back and forth with your fingers or a spatula to release them.
• Pick them up one by one and lay on the rolling pin.
• Press lightly on the tuile with your hand to get a nice curved shape.
• The cookies will mold and cool in a few seconds, so you should remove the shaped cookies as soon as you need room on the rolling pin for more.
• If the tuiles become cool and hard to remove from the sheetpan, put them back in the oven for 1 minute and then continue.
• Repeat with the rest of the batter making sure that the sheetpans cool between batches.
• Decorating the tuiles: Scrape the melted chocolate into a parchment cone or plastic zip-lock bag.
• Snip the end making a tiny hole and pipe very thin lines across the tuiles.
• You can also use a fork dipped into the chocolate and then waved back and forth over the tuiles.
• Serve as soon as the chocolate sets.

LEMON-ALMOND TUILES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Line a large baking sheet with liner.
• Whisk together sugar and egg white until sugar has dissolved. Whisk in remaining ingredients until smooth.
• Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of batter for each cookie, 2 inches apart and in staggered rows, on baking sheet (about 6 cookies), spreading with offset spatula into 4-inch-long cookies (straight or curvy). Bake until pale golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer cookies, while still hot, with a spatula to a rack to cool completely, or curl cookies by draping them over a rolling pin to cool.
• Cool sheet and liner before baking more tuiles in same manner.
